Y2K Press On Nails — Hand-Painted Chrome Cyber

Y2K is back — chrome finishes, flames, silver stars, deep purple-blue celestials, cyber-gothic palettes. The aesthetic that defined 1999 has been the loudest trend in nail art since 2022, and it doesn't show signs of slowing.

Our Y2K collection runs hand-painted: hand-laid mirror chrome (not printed foil), painted flame patterns (Cherry Spark), celestial Y2K (Mystic Galaxy), 3D star charms (Amethyst Stars), and cyber metallics. Every set on premium soft-gel tips, UV-cured 4-6 times.

Y2K sets ship with 10 hand-painted nails in your chosen size, a prep kit, and our 30-day return on unworn sets. Wear 2-4 weeks, reuse 5-10 times.

Y2K is one mood in our broader handmade press-on nails studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Y2K chrome finishes look like the product photos in person?

Yes, and arguably better. Hand-laid chrome catches light at every angle. Printed Y2K sets fail in person because the chrome is a flat sticker.

What's the most-worn Y2K design?

Mystic Galaxy (celestial indigo + gold fleck) is our top Y2K reorder.

Can I get a custom Y2K design?

Yes — see custom press-on nails. Hand-painted flames in custom colors, color-matched cyber gradients, hand-laid star charms.

Size chart

The width of your nail bed at its widest point, in millimetres.

Size	Thumb	Index	Middle	Ring	Pinky
XS	14	10	11	10	8
S	15	11	12	11	9
M	16	12	13	12	10
L	17	13	14	13	11

Pick the size that fits most of your fingers. Almost nobody matches one size on all ten nails, and that is normal.

Between two sizes, or flatter nail beds? Size up. A slightly wide tip still sits flush; a narrow one lifts at the sides.

Short almond tips run a touch small against the other shapes — size up for those.

Measure your own nails, not over acrylics or gel.

How to measure

Either method works. Measure every finger — the two hands are rarely identical.

Method 1 · recommended

Flexible measuring tape

A measuring tape laid flat across the widest part of a nail bed

Lay the tape flat across your nail bed at its widest point, following the natural curve.
Read the millimetre mark and write it down. Repeat for all ten nails.

Method 2

Paper strip and ruler

A paper strip laid across the nail, with a dot marking each edge of the nail bed

A pen marking both edges of the nail onto the strip

The marked strip laid flat against a ruler, showing the gap between the two marks

Lay a strip of paper or sticky tape across the widest part of your nail.
Mark a dot at each edge of the nail bed with a pen.
Peel the strip off and lay it flat against a ruler.
Measure the gap between the two dots. That is your width.

Shape & length

Size is the width across your nail bed. Length is how far the tip extends past it — a separate choice.

Square

Oval

Almond

Coffin

Stiletto

Shape	Short	Medium	Long	Extra long
Square	14–17	19–22	24–27	30+
Oval	15–18	20–23	25–28	32+
Almond	16–19	21–24	26–29	33+
Coffin	17–20	22–25	28–32	35–45
Stiletto	18–21	23–27	30–35	40–45

Tip length in millimetres, measured from the base of the nail. Not every design is made in every shape or length — the options on the product page are what that set actually comes in.

Find your size

Measure the widest point of each nail bed in millimetres, then enter all ten. We size every finger separately, so the answer is closer than a single guess.
